    Andrew Huberman discusses his inability to tolerate milk anymore during a conversation with Dr. Robert Lustig about vitamin D and nutrition. Huberman mentions that one reason for vitamin D deficiency could be the consumption of soft drinks instead of dairy products like milk, which he personally can't tolerate 1.

    In another episode, while discussing how beliefs about food can affect physiological responses, Huberman uses the example of a milkshake study. Different groups reacted differently in terms of insulin and blood glucose levels based on their belief about the caloric and nutrient content of the milkshake they consumed, even though the shakes were identical 2.

    Lastly, in a conversation about nutrition and fertility, Huberman reminisces that he used to drink half and half when he was a teenager but no longer consumes milk. He notes that processed dairy products like skim milk can negatively impact fertility, contrasting with whole dairy products like full-fat milk 3.
